[0028] The present application provides a sugar box. In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are further described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-8 and the specific embodiments.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1-5 , the sugar box provided by the present application comprises a first housing 10 and a second housing 20. The first housing 10 is closed at one end and open at the other end, and the second housing 20 is also closed at one end and open at the other end. The second housing 20 is inserted into the first housing 10 from the open end of the first housing 10. The first housing 10 and the second housing 20 each comprise a side wall and an end wall, and the end walls of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20 are respectively located at the closed ends of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20.

[0030] The side wall of the first housing 10 is provided with an outlet 101. As shown in Figure 1 , the second housing 20 can slide inward relative to the first housing 10 to a position closing the outlet 101. As shown in Figure 2 , the second housing 20 can also slide outward relative to the first housing 10 to a position opening the outlet 101. After the outlet 101 is opened, the sugar box is tilted, and the sugar can be poured out from the outlet 101.

[0031] The sugar box provided in the application, in the closed state of the outlet 101, part of the side wall of the second shell 20 is exposed from the outlet 101, when it is needed to open the outlet 101, the first shell 10 can be held by one hand, and the second shell 20 is touched by the fingers, a pushing force is applied to the second shell 20, the second shell 20 is slid outwards from the first shell 10, and thus the outlet 101 is opened; when it is needed to close the outlet 101, the first shell 10 can be held by one hand, and a pushing force is applied to the second shell 20 by the fingers, or the second shell 20 can be held by one hand, and a pushing force is applied to the first shell 10 by the fingers, the second shell 20 is slid into the first shell 10, and thus the outlet 101 is closed, therefore, the outlet 101 can be opened and closed by one hand, and the opening and closing of the outlet 101 is realized by the relative sliding of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, which is convenient and labor-saving.

[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first shell 10 has a first limiting part J, and the second shell 20 has a second limiting part T, when the second shell 20 is slid outwards relative to the first shell 10 to the limit position, the second limiting part T is in contact with the first limiting part J, in this way, the sliding out of the second shell 20 from the first shell 10 caused by the sliding out of limit can be avoided, and thus the sugar is prevented from spilling.

[0033] More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the first limiting part J is arranged on the inner side of the side wall of the first shell 10, and the second limiting part T is arranged on the outer side of the side wall of the second shell 20, in this way, the first limiting part J and the second limiting part T occupy less internal space of the first shell 10, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the sugar box. Alternatively, the first limiting part J and the second limiting part T can also be arranged not to be attached to the side wall of the first shell 10 or the second shell 20, for example, they can also be arranged perpendicularly to the side wall of the first shell 10 or the second shell 20.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the outer side of the first shell 10 is provided with a containing bin, and the containing bin is used to contain the sugar wrapping paper 30. The sugar wrapping paper 30 can be used to wrap the consumed sugar, so as to facilitate the disposal. It can also be used to wrap the unconsumed sugar, so as to facilitate the carrying or sharing.

[0035] More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the first shell 10 has a blocking wall part E, the blocking wall part E is arranged on the outer side of the side wall of the first shell 10 and is bonded to the side wall of the first shell 10, or is arranged on the outer side of the end wall of the first shell 10 and is bonded to the end wall of the first shell 10, and the containing bin is located between the side wall or the end wall of the first shell 10 and the blocking wall part E. In the figure, the first shell 10 is a cuboid, has two relatively wide side wall parts and two relatively narrow side wall parts, and the blocking wall part E is attached to the outer side of the relatively wide side wall part, so as to obtain a containing bin with sufficient size. One side of the containing bin is provided with a bin opening 102 (see Figure 3 ), asFigure 6 As shown, the sugar wrapping paper 30 can exit the containing compartment through the outlet 102.

[0036] More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the barrier wall portion E is provided with a notch 103 (see Figure 3 ) at one side edge thereof close to the outlet 102. A portion of the sugar wrapping paper 30 in the containing compartment can be exposed through the notch 103. In this way, when the sugar box is held by one hand, the portion of the sugar wrapping paper 30 exposed through the notch 103 can be poked by a finger, so as to poke out the outermost sugar wrapping paper 30 from the containing compartment, facilitating the taking of the sugar wrapping paper 30. In the illustrated embodiment, the notch 103 is an arc-shaped notch. In practice, the shape is not limited thereto, and can be, for example, polygonal, heart-shaped, oval, or other irregular shapes.

[0037] In some embodiments, the side wall of the second shell 20 is provided with a groove 201 (see Figure 1 ) on the outer side thereof. In the closed state of the outlet 102, the groove 201 is exposed from the outlet 102. In this way, when the outlet 102 is opened, a finger can be pressed on the groove 201, facilitating the application of force to the second shell 20.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are cuboids, and the outlet 102 is arranged on a relatively narrow side wall portion of the cuboid, and the size of the outlet 102 is the same as that of the relatively narrow side wall portion. In this way, the sugar box can be easily tilted to the side where the relatively narrow side wall portion is located, so as to pour out the sugar. If the outlet 102 is arranged on a relatively wide side wall portion of the cuboid, if the outlet 102 is arranged to be narrower than the relatively wide side wall portion, the sugar is not easily poured out when the sugar box is tilted. If the outlet 102 is arranged to be the same size as the relatively wide side wall portion, too much sugar can be poured out at one time when the sugar box is tilted.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are both paper shells. In this way, the sugar box is light, and is more convenient to carry, more convenient to operate with one hand, and more environmentally friendly.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are both three-dimensional structures folded from a whole piece of paperboard. In this way, the production and manufacturing are facilitated.
